Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Google seems to be showing fewer local packs in the web search results. I wrote why I think Google can't stop sending traffic to publishers in the short term, and it's about Google Ads. Bing Chat launched new visual search comparisons, and knowledge cards and said dark mode is coming soon. And Google launched the topics + search bar refinements on desktop search. Also, we have another vlog episode with Glenn Gabe, this one on Google broad core updates.
